I'm sure we've had a similar discussion in the past, we can all use anecdotes of immigrants making a great life for themselves and their kids, but these stories are the rarity not the norm. Immigrants have always been used as a primary source of ...

As a swing trader where was your entry on EUR/USD? I saw the 12th Nov and 19th Nov as the most 'obvious' entries, requiring very little skill, where's your greed issue? Surely you've stayed on trend and in the trade?

Central banks will move goal posts to keep QE forever
- Spreadbetter commented Dec 11, 2013
It's a huge challenge to take the patient off the drip. The taper is the logical move but IMHO it won't happen in 2014 and will be adjusted over a huge window of time, perhaps 3-4 years.

Shame they didn't post a link to Fama's life and work. His article; "The Adjustment of Stock Prices to New Information" is something worth musing on. Efficient market hypothesis is also a cornerstone of market behaviour. url Not sure anyone could ...

Apropos nothing in particular I was picking over the bones of John Taylor's FX concepts last week, from the largest FX hedge fund to complete ruin inside a few years, he was adamant that the euro would reach parity with the dollar, obsessional? Not ...
Draghi: Central banks should concentrate on price stability
- Spreadbetter commented Dec 10, 2013
The biggest barrier to success in any form of trading is lack of capitalisation, you'll never have enough in order to trade correctly, but let me guess, you're still in the "compounding to the moon" mindset and using the bucket shop market makers ...

How are "new" traders classified? I'd suggest the majority of retail traders, with no 'one on one' mentoring from an experienced institutional trader, will take 4-5 years to become profitable consistently. What do others think? I really can't see ...
